17th Annual Fall Hike: On a beautiful autumn day twenty-four friends and family joined together for a two-hour hike through a privately owned property off of Boardman Drive in Prospect. Hikers traveled along an historic wood road and the now abandoned section of the Quinnipiac Blue Trail. Midway the hikers were treated to cider and donuts by our hosts Boardman and Joyce Kathan with special thanks going out to Charlie Sutton and little Lindsay for all their assistance. They helped make the 17th Annual Fall Hike an enjoyable time for all.
Work Party Planned A work party is planned for Saturday November 6, 2010 at 9:30 am. At this time we will be performing annual trail maintenance to PLT’s Summit Heights property located at 109 Rosemary Rd., Prospect. Our Summit Heights property consists of 3.65 acres that was open space acquired through a conveyance from Robert and Mark Capanna and has a small loop trail that was created by Christine “Tina” Barry as a Girl Scout Gold award project. It is hoped that this property will someday have connections to other open space parcels on adjacent lands owned by others. Public access and on street parking is available at the end of Rosemary Rd. If you would like to lend a helping hand all you have to do is meet us on November 6th. Bring your work gloves, tools, if needed, will be provided.
